First of all - I was SO happy today because Harper had a great day in the nursery!! You have no idea how hard I have prayed today and it was so nice to go check on her twice and neither time was she crying or screaming. I'm so thankful for her sweet nursery workers who love on her! My parents were here today and got to go to church with us and see her in the nursery! And we went to lunch and she was so happy and did so good. OH it was just a great day!
My dad got home from India last night and we were so glad to have him home safe and sound. Tomorrow is his birthday and today is Grandparents day so we were glad to spend time with them! Harper is so blessed to have four wonderful grandparents in her life!
We were playing with her in her room and she started pulling up on me!!! She is just changing and growing so quickly these days!
I told ya'll yesterday about my "faith" dress and then I found out something SO amazing about it and I just have to share because I want to show you how God is at work even when you don't know it and feel like your prayers are not being answered.
But first I feel like I should share that YES - I love having a girl but I used to DREAM of having three boys. I would have been over the moon if we had had a boy. I don't want anyone to think I would have been unhappy with a boy. I dreamed of a boy playing football and I still secretly wish for a boy if we have another child. There is nothing sweeter than a little boy. It's just that I just always had this feeling I would have a daughter. I can't explain it but I just knew.
Anyway..........I think this is unbelievable. When I shared the story of the dress yesterday - the lady who I bought it from off of etsy left me a comment and then she e-mailed me to share something with me and it just gave me chills and made me cry. She has been reading my blog since Harper was born but had no idea she had one time made a dress for her until she saw it yesterday. And she remembered it because when she made it - she felt like God asked her to pray over the dress and to pray for the little girl who would be wearing it. She had no idea that at the the time there WAS no little girl yet or that the little girl would really need prayers at one point. See how God goes ahead and works in such amazing ways???
And finally - look who is starting to crawl!!!! When did she get so big???
So this is my 1000th post!!! WOW - that is a whole lot of rambling from me. So in honor of my 1000th post - I was wondering if you read my blog - I would love to hear from ALL of you - even the lurkers who have never commented - and I would love to hear one thing you are thankful for today! It would be great to start off this week with a LONG list of uplifting praises and I would love to hear from EVERYONE who is reading!!! Ya'll hear from me every day - now I'd like to hear from you!!!!

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 1746 Newer› Newest»I am thankful for my two precious daughters who are both at university and for the knowledge that God knows every hair on their head and holds them in the palm of His hand.
Hi Kelly,
I am so thankful for my husband and 2 year old daughter, Ava! I enjoy reading your blog. Your baby is beautiful. Thanks for showing the love of Jesus.
Brooke
I'm thankful for God's many blessings, including my two girls (who are growing up way too fast!) and my wonderful husband of 15 years. Thank you for your blog and for sharing your Faith!
Hello from Okinawa!! I am thankful that my husband is safe at home and not deployed right now. I am also thankful everyday to have a healthy little boy.
I am thankful for my amazing parents. Because of their help, at the age of 26 (well after i've left their nest) i've been able to go back to school to become a nurse.
Angela from Louisiana...I've commented before but not often although I read every day. I also, because of this strange blog world we live in, had a dream about you the other night. You took me to your church and were showing me around. Strange, huh? Anyways, I'm thankful for my family, friends and church. Happy 1000!
I'm not sure how I stumbled upon your blog (I think it was right after Harper was born) but I have followed your blog ever since.
My husband and I dealt with infertility for several years and then when we were done with everything required for an adoption and just waiting to be chosen by a birth family, God chose that time to bless us with a successful pregnancy. We had Katrina Suzanne in February of 2006. Then we lost three babies to miscarriage and didn't think we could bear the possibility of another loss when God led us to a perinatologist who discovered a clotting disorder and helped us carry Samuel Jose (pronounced Sahm-well Ho-say) to term in January of this year.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude everyday as I think about the ambitions, hopes and fears I had for my life and realize God has been at work for my good and His glory from the very beginning. I know you feel the same way, Kelly.
I'm thankful for the many way God intervenes in our lives to take care of us! I could go on and on about this but one example comes to mind from this past weekend. We planned to have Dillan's adoption celebration party on Saturday but the people doing pony rides couldn't come that night so we changed it to Friday. The weather was BEAUTIFUL on Friday...not so much on Saturday...OH, HOW HE LOVES US!!!
Happy 1,000th post, Kelly mama! I've been reading since dear Katie over at "Harrington House" posted after Harper was born and asked for prayers for you guys and your sweet little gal. You have an infectious enthusiasm for our God and life, and you're a wonderful, positive lady-o!
Happy 1,000th post and enjoy that sweet, sweet familia of yours!

P.S. And what am I thankful for? That our Jesus is ALWAYS on our side! :o) No matter what He wants our happiness and He wants us to love Him. Simply amazing. He gave me a fantastic husband and daughters and meets all of my needs. I can't even believe that I tried to live without Him before (I've been saved since late teen-hood). Praise God!
Not sure if I have commented before...
I started reading your blog when I heard of your beautiful baby girl was not doing well in the hospital. Not sure where I heard it, but there was a link and I've been following you ever since.
I am a single Christian mom with three beautiful children. I've had a lot of struggles that few years with my health, my husband leaving me, but God has been there with me. I am thankful for God for providing, loving, caring and guiding me through it all.
I am thankful for my husband and my 18 daughter who is 18 months old today. I love you Trey and Georgia!
I've been a reader for a while and love your blog!
I am so thankful for my little girl. We went through 3 years of infertility before being blessed with her and she is the light of our lives!
I am thankful to be the stay-at-home mommy of 2 great boys and the wife of 1 terrific man. *And, I'm thankful for the wonderful fall weather in NC and for NC State's football victory of 65-7 on Saturday night! ;-)
I am thankful for the rain that God provides to water our gardens and flowers!
I am thankful for my husband and 2 wonderful children. I am also thankful that my mom lives with us and is in my children's lives each day.
Hi Kelly,
Been reading your blog since Harper was born, you are such an encouraging woman! I am thankful that I am 8 weeks pregnant with our second child after 17 months of trying. :)
I have a Harper too. Your blog caught my eye when I saw her name. I found your blog from BooMama I think. My little Harper is sandwiched among three brothers though.
I am thankful for my healthy children and my wonderful life.
That is so cool about the lady who made Harper's dress! Looks like a fun weekend and a great grandparents day!
I haven't commented in awhile, but I've been reading your blog for quite some time! Today I'm thankful for my students. They are so wonderful this year and I really look forward to coming to work to teach them (they teach me too!)
Morning! Little Ms. Harper is growing so fast. I can't believe she is pulling up, seems like just yesterday I was reading about her coming into the world.
I am so thankful for my children. Each and every day they are a clear reminder of how good God is to me. My life without them would be so boring! :) Hope you have a wonderful week, and congrats on your 1000th post!
I love to read your blog everyday! Thanks so much for you updates and adorable pictures. Today I'm thankful for celebrating 2 years of marriage, and also for my 7 month old son! :) God is Good!
Hi Kelly! I love your blog! Harper is getting cuter and cuter by the day, if that is possible. Today I am thankful for my sweet son Henry (10 months old). If there's anything I've learned from your blog, it's not to take his health for granted.
I am thankful for the chance to be away with my husband on a trip. I've never left my kiddos this long, but I must admit the break is nice! I miss my precious children, but am thankful for grandparents who are taking care of them. I'll be thankful at the end of the week when I fly home and pick those two sweethearts up, especially because I will be refreshed and ready to go back to my job as a SAHM! I'm blessed!
I'm so thankful for my family, and their health. I don't want to take one moment for granted!
I am thankful for my family. I have 3 boys that are my world and an extended family that is wonderful.
Harper is getting so big!!!! She is just precious!
I am so...grateful for my four children. I am so blessed to be their mom!
Hi! Congratulations on your 1000th post! Today, I am thankful for my parents. My Dad drove an hour to my house on Friday night to cut the grass so I could spend Saturday with my family and not be concerned with yard work. And my mom. Well, there just aren't enough words.
Stephanie
Never commented --but have you read you since Harper was born - I love reading your blog! Thanks for sharing a little part of your life with us.
I'm thankful for my beautiful child and hard-working husband.
Kelly, I have been reading since just before Harper was born. I love your encouraging, real and sincere way of writing. We are an Air Force family and once called Little Rock, AR home. Our 11 year old daughter was born there and our 13 year old was born in Germany. Little Rock was one of our most favorite places-amazing people! We just made move #8 in our 17 years of marriage. I am thankful that it looks like we have found the church where God wants us while we are here in Virginia.
I've been reading since Harper was in the hospital. I'm thankful for my wonderful friends and family, and for our health.
I am thankful and so blessed with wonderful family and friends. Also, I am so thankful for how God is so good all the time! I love your blog! Harper is precious and I love how down to earth you are.

I have a happy story- someone very dear to me has been trying for a few months to have another baby (she already has a 7 and an almost 9 year old) and was worried that because she was in her mid thirties and also has a history of infertility and miscarriage that it wouldn't happen but today I got the news that she is (only just) pregnant! And I am so happy for her and grateful to God because I have been praying for months that it would happen for her! And today I was just like "I knew you could do it, God!" (As if I ever should have doubted!)
The power of prayer! My family, health, your prayer blog, the air we breathe, I think I could go on & on!!
You are reaching so many people, I'm so thankful I found your blog!
I am thankful today for having the opportunity to start my IVF meds at the end of the month. Even those it is going to take a large financial toll (and a hefty emotional one) -- I am so blessed and so thankful there is something we can try to bring a little one in this world.
I am thankful that my Dad is no longer suffering, but is healthy and whole and walking the streets of heaven with all his friends and family who have gone before him. It's been a long, hard journey for him, but now he's reached his final destination.
I am so thankful that God has allowed me to marry my best friend and then blessed up with three healthy and happy and super kind and loving boys. I love my family more than I can say. I often feel as if I've been TOO blessed and I don't deserve it. I'm just a normal girl in Jersey. Why me?! But THANK YOU LORD JESUS, thank You a million trillion times for my blessed life. Amen.
I've lurked for a while...since before Harper was born. You do have a very uplifting and inspiring blog.
You wrote of your dream of having three boys above. It's funny that you wrote that, as I am pregnant with boy #3 and feeling all the apprehension that comes with adding to the brood. With that said, I am also so very thankful for my third boy that is due to arrive in 7 weeks.
I'm from Acworth, Georgia! I am so thankful for a loving husband and 2 healthy children. I have read recently about so many sick children. I count my blessings everyday!
I am thankful for my two little girls and the baby I'm expecting in seven weeks!
Kelly,
My praise is for my 2 little Boys, I am one of the Miracle's Happen mom's and my victory over infertility happened twice and we are praying for a third. I was so moved by your post about the dress, because I had and still have my own yummy girl cloths tucked away. Thank you so much for sharing your story, praying for others on the journey, and being strong in the Father and sharing the testimony He has given you.
Congratulations on your 1000th post! I am thankful for my kids today. Keep up the great blogging :)
I'm Vonda from Maryland and have been following your blog since Harper was born. I am thankful for my 4 wonderful children. I spent 5 years with infertility and conceived my twins through in vitro. They will be 16 in December. Then went on to have 2 more children ON OUR OWN with no fertility treatments. My sweet twins are Peyton and Sophie, then I have Noah who is 10, and born with a little something extra (He has Down syndrome and is the love of my life), and then my sweet Halle who is 8 and is the icing on our cake!!! God does answer our prayers and I would have never asked for a child with Down syndrome, but God knew I needed one. Noah has changed my life, my husband's life and my girls life for the better. We see things through different eyes. He has taught us what life is truly about.
Hi,
I have commented a few times before...i live in SC and i am sooo thankful for my family! & our big life changes coming up!
Congrats on 1000! I'm grateful for God's faithfulness and provision in my life. The same way you prayed for so long to be a mom, I've prayed that way to be a wife. So everytime I see a picture of Harper on your post, it reminds me that God is still in the prayer answering business and if I'll continue to be patient and faithful in serving Him, I'll get my "Harper" one day :)
Thank you for allowing God to use you as such an encourager to all us single gals!!
PS: Coming to Atlanta anytime soon?!
I admit, I'm a lurker! I'm so thankful for my family. Congratulations on your 1000th post!
Hi Kelly!
I have been reading your blog daily ever since you had Harper! She is just precious and your love for her radiates out of the computer monitor daily! Today I am thankful for bloggers like you who spend their time gathering prayers for others in need. You have a kind heart and I'll be here reading and praying for as long as you continue to post. Thank you for daily helping me see past myself and helping me appreciate how wonderful and blessed my life is.

I'm thankful that our GREAT GOD still works miracles, doing the impossible by bringing our quadruplet boys into this world, and preserving my own life when things were very uncertain. He is Good and His Love endures Forever!
Hi Kelly,
Congrats on your 1000 post!! I've been reading yourblog for several months now, and have only posted a comment a couple times.
I'm thankful for my sweet twin boys!! And I;m thankful for my neighbor who gets me motivated to work out every morning. If it wasn't for her I'd be on the computer all day :)

I am thankful for my family and for a "quiet" hurricane season so far!! Ike was rough on our community.
God Bless you and your family.
I am so thankful for my sweet Mama! Today is her 54th birthday and I love her more and more everyday:)
Thankful for amazing grace.
I always check your blog. I feel like I know you. I started praying for Harper when I was pregnant for Aidan. I love that she is crawling. Aidan is starting too, he just wants to so bad but then chickens out.
I'm thankful for my family's health and gainful employment! I'm so glad that I've found the blogging community too. I look forward to reading about Harper every day! Thank you for all the smiles :)
I am thankful for my precious baby girl and my dedicated husband.
Thanks for your inspiration Kelly!

Hi Kelly,
I read your blog all the time, but never comment. I live in Alabama. I am so thankful for my children, they are truley a blessing from God. I am also thankful that while my parents do have some health issues, they are still here with us. Also, I am so thankful for my husband who works hard everyday so I can stay home with the kids, and one more, I am so thankful for the little one I am carrying that will be here in March.
Blessings to your family!!!
Love, love you blog! I have only commented once or twice and it was when Harper was having such horrible skin issues to try to get you to consider allergies (my son had a milk protein allergy--so been there and done that).
I am thankful for my husband. Even though I can get upset at the little things (not helping clean or mow the grass) he is absolutely wonderful with our son and is always sure to give me "me" time. He is my bestest friend, my rock and my soul mate. :-)
I'm a lurker... :) Today I am thankful for my wonderful friends. We had an amazing day together just watching football all day on Saturday, and it was so fun to be together. I can't wait until this weekend though - woo pig sooiee!!!
I love reading your stories. My sister went to JBU and I visited her there, so I like hearing about AR because I heard so many stories from my sister years ago. I still remember eating at the Roadkill place and The Market Place(?) best prime rib I ever had! Anyway, I'm thankful for my children and husband today. Also our parents and grandparents, we a had a wonderful time with them yesterday and it's still on my mind.
I am grateful and thankful that we have made it 9 weeks today with this pregnancy!!!!
i just became a mom in february and since then i have discovered your fabulous blog! i enjoy reading about your life. i also started giving my son, hunter, puffs after your post about harper's snack. i didn't know if it was too soon to start them but since harper could handle them, i figured hunter could too since they're a few weeks apart! so, thanks for the mommy wisdom on the puffs. anyways, i am so thankful for the cross of Christ and his unfailing grace and love!!!
A friend got me hooked on your blog back when she was pregnant and blog-surfing alot. I am so glad for a positive, edifying place for women to gather on the web. Thanks for what you do!
I am so thankful for God's providence in my life - He has led me to exactly where He wants me to be, complete with a wonderful husband, a good job, great home, and supportive family. He is so good!
Kelly you are tbe best! Thank you for your positive outlook, love of the Lord, and sense of humor. I am thankful for my family, my friends, and even the hardships that help make me who I am today. Have a great week!
Today, I am thankful for my family, present and future. I am thankful for my husband who loves me so much and for my sweet dogs. I am thankful for our future children who I know have people praying for them even now.
Happy 1000th post! Just think of all the wonderful things that have happened since the first one!
Audra
I'm thankful for my 6 year old waking up ready for the start of her 2nd week of 1st grade only with excitement! Last week we dealt with anxiety and worry about being away from home for so long. Praise God for calming her sweet heart.
I'm also thankful that this same sweet 6 year old is a prayer warrior already! "I prayed a lot in my bed last night, and when I woke up this morning. I prayed I would follow all the rules, not talk too much, eat my lunch, use my manners, and do my best hand writing."
Love that girl! thank you Lord for allowing me to raise her!!
I have to also say I'm thankful for my other daughter (age 3-1/2), my little man (age 16 months), and for the HUGE surprise my 3rd daughter due in about 10 weeks! I can't leave them out :)

Kelly,
I have been reading your blog for a few months now and I admire you and think Harper is precious. One day it came to me, I was looking at a picture you had posted of Harper and there it was.... Harper looks excatly like my "baby" Sister did at that age! And when Lauren (my baby sister who will be 18 in November) was born she was born with a very rare blood disease. At 18 months we almost lost our Lauren. So, with your request for today - I am thankful for SO many things in my life. I am thankful for My baby Sis Lauren to be hear with us, I am thankful that in June I married the man of my dreams after so many years of thinking I was going to be alone all my life..... I could go on. Thank you for sharing your stories with us Kelly... you are a wonderful person... God Bless you and your entire family!
Hugs,
Kim
Checking in from Southern OHIO! I am so thankful for my son, who turned 5 on Saturday, my daughter who is a month older than Harper, my husband and my mother who is in remission from multiple myeloma! This year has been very difficult for me, so I praise JESUS today and you Kelly for sharing your life with us!
Hello, I have been reading since Harper was born.
I am thankful for my husband, he is a great guy, and I am lucky to have found him!
Hi Kelly-
I am thankful for my 4 1/2 month old son and my husband- my boys :)

I am thankful for my Savior, Jesus Christ and his gifts to me: my strong husband and 2 children.
I read your blog almost everyday! I am thankful for a job to come to today and for great health!
I am thankful that God loves me even when I don't trust him.
that just gave me chills when i read the story about the lady who made the dress praying for the little girl who would be wearing it! God is SO SO good, even through our darkest times!
glad Harper did well in the nursery today, i know that has to make you feel better!
congratulations on 1000!!
I am seriously thankful for everything in my life - family, friends, job - all of it!
Hello Kelly! I love your blog. I've been reading for almost a year now. I am thankful for my 3 healthy children ( ages 6, 2, & 5 months). Thank you for sharing you life!

Our Lord's Grace and Mercy~
Kelly- this is great! It’s wonderful to stop for a minute and to remember all that we have to be thankful for. I’m thankful for a roof over my head, food in my stomach, clothes on my back, money in the bank (might not be much but it’s something), a job, friends and family whom I love and love me in return, thankful for the hope and peace that only Jesus can bring and everything in between!!!
Hey Kelly! I am reading your blog from Herndon, Virginia and I've been reading for probalby the past year! I LOVE LOVE LOVE reading your blog! I have been married for three years, no kids yet but maybe in the new couple of years we'll be ready! Today I am thankful for my husband. When I graduated college, I was engaged to someone else and that was broken off and I was so devastated-then the Lord brought my husband to me and we were married less than a year later! I thank the Lord everyday for His provision in my life!
Thank you for your blog, you have really inspired me to really take off with mine and I am LOVING it! Your little Harper is so adorable!!!
I love reading your blog for it describes "reality"...I'm extremely grateful for God who has brought me through some tough times! He is ever faithful!
Kelly, I love reading you blog and you faith in the Lord. I've been reading since Harper was in the hospital and have so much enjoyed watching her grow up. I'm thankful for my family, two healthy kids and the opportunity to be home with my kids each day. I feel blessed to have all these things and the means to feed my family and have a roof over our head.
Hey Kelly! I have been a faithful reader for months now but have never commented. I love your blog! I am thankful to be having our little Boy in December and I can't wait to watch him grow :)
Heppy 1000th post from GA.
I read your blog daily but don't comment often. Love your blog!! You are an inspiration and your faith amazes me. I thank you for sharing your love for the Lord and your precious Harper with us.
I am thankfully for my wonderful husband. I am truly blessed to have him in my life.
Glad your dad got home safe from India. Have a blessed week!
o.k. you made me cry (again) with that sweet little dress story! :)
Today, I'm thankful for a merciful God who has given me more chances than I deserve!
Hello there from Central Indiana!
I've read your blog for a long time now :)
What a blessing your sweet Harper is!
I was delighted to see that you recently vacationed in Gulf Shores... I've never been - but am thinking of going there over fall break!
Keep on ramblin'!
~Ginny
I have never commented before, but I love reading your blog. It is so uplifting and your family is truly inspiring. I am 19 weeks pregnant with our first baby, and we just found out we are having a girl. I love looking at all of Harper's outfits and bows and plan on dressing my little girl in a similar style. I am so thankful for the new lives God blesses us with. As a labor and delivery nurse and an expecting mother I realize what a blessing our babies truly are.
I am thankful for a great family and all my wonderful friends!
Hello from South Carolina. I've been a reader for over a year. I guess about the time you got pregnant with Harper. Love your blog! Today I am thankful for Answered Prayers. God really does know what he is doing, even if we don't understand it at the time.
God Bless, Katie
You don't know me, but I came to your blog one day through a friend of a friend of a friend's blog (I hope that's not too creepy!). I enjoy reading about your adventures, and your faith. Thank you for helping me to remember my greatest blessings, and for giving me the opportunity to pray for those who are not as lucky as I am. I am one of those people whose faith is stronger because of your blog! I know that you are incredibly busy, but thank you for posting so frequently and giving me one more thing to smile about!

Okay...I'm a lurker coming out of lurkdom....I am thankful for my family and friends and this wonderful day!
I have been reading your blog for about 7 months now and it is one that I read every day. My husband and I have an 8 yr old daughter and have been TTC for 6 years now. Every time I lose hope or faith that it will happen for us, your posts seem to be written just for me. You have no idea when you write what an impact it has on someone. The post from Saturday was such a blessing for me. Thank you for all your encouragement.
I started reading your blog when Harper was born. What a sweet blog you have and of course daughter! I am thankful for my husband who is always ready and willing to serve me even when i don't deserve it:) He is a great example of Christ's love!
I read your Blog Everyday that you post and Harper is a Beautiful little girl. The one thing that sits no my heart that i am most thankful for today is the love and devotion that i have from my husband and my friends. I am so thankful for their love.
I saw a link on a blog I follow to pray for your sweet baby girl when she was born and have read your blog ever since. I'm hooked. :)
Your posts are encouraging, talk about real life, and Harper is just the cutest - love all the pictures.
As a mom of four, the "baby" stages are gone - my oldest is 14 and youngest is 7, so it's fun to remember the thrills of having a little one around and all of their firsts - it's reminiscent and warms my heart with gratitude to God for allowing me to be a mom. Thank you for opening your life up to so many - the Lord is using you!
I also am thankful for my THREE children and wonderful husband. God blessed me "later" in life and they "were worth the wait"!!!!!!
Wow, already 869 comments, not sure if you will make it this far in reading!HAHA
I am thankful for my 2 little miracles who I now have after being told that I would never be able to have children by 2 different doctors. What a big God we serve!
I am also thankful to have found your blog. I read all the time but never comment. I wanted to thank you for bringing soooo much attention to the topic of infertility. It is something that is not often spoken about and misunderstood by alot of people. I dealt with so much hurt during my 7 years of infertility. Alot of people dont realize how many people are out there suffering, alot of them in silence because they cant have the miracle that that have been praying for. So, thank you for that!
May God bless you and your beautiful family!
Love your blog! I am 9 weeks pregnant and SO thankful God has blessed my husband and I with a sweet little one! =)
I am thankful for my loving husband, our beautiful daughter, and the wonderful church where my husband works as a youth pastor. We are SO BLESSED!
I've never commented, but I started reading your blog because Harper's take home from the hospital outfit down to the socks was the same that I planned to take my little girl who was born last October home in, but we ended up taking her home on GAME DAY so we switched into OSU orange. She did wear the sweet little dress in her hospital picture though. I realized that we had the same taste in baby clothes and insane love of bows so I became addicted to seeing your family via blog every day. I love hearing what you all are up to!
I'm thankful that my husband survived two deployments to Iraq, I'm thankful that I am pregnant and I'm thankful for the family and friends that God gave me. I love your blog!!!
I've been reading your blog since Harper was born. She is amazingly beautiful and I thank you for sharing your faith and your life with us!
Today I am thankful for clarity. We had a stillborn baby boy in November of 2008. We have been in prayer over whether or not to try again. My story is complicated, as my second baby girl was born at 25 weeks. She is 6 now, but then our baby was stillborn.
The Lord spoke very clearly to me through our pastor yesterday that we should step out on faith and try again. For that, I am VERY thankful!
Much love and many blessings to you, Scott and Harper!

Hello Kelly! Congratulations on your 100th post! I am a lurker from STL, with two young adults in college and no blog of my own. Your blog is inspiring, uplifting, joyous and makes me smile. YOUR BLOG reminds me of many happy memories of the journey of motherhood and God's constant care, love, protection and guidance throughout. For that, I am thankful! My children (and their friends) are most thankful that you posted that sugar cookie recipe-it has become a favorite and very requested treat!
Hi Kelly! My name is Jennifer. I have been reading your blog since I found out that you were pregnant and your due date and mine were close. Then, you ended up having Harper the day before my Emma Kate was born. Anyway, I enjoy reading your blog because our girls are so close in age, in fact, just a day apart! We are doing well in SC, but that GA/ USC game was a heart breaker for us! Keep on blogging! It is just fabulous :)
I am thankful for God's constant provision for us! With a baby on the way and my husband starting his own business in July, I cannot be more thankful to Him! Each time something comes up that I think, "oh no! how are we going to tackle this," God provides a solution! He is faithful! Congrats on your 1000th post!
Thank you for your transparency on your blog - I started reading a few months before you found out your were pregnant with Harper. I know Katie and Hillary (we met at Reese's funeral) I am so thankful for God's grace in my life and his steadfast love - and that he is the solid rock when all other ground is sinking sand.

I am thankful for my family and our health. Even though the kids have been sick lately we could be much worse off.
Congratulations! I love your blog and look forward to all your posts!
I am so grateful for my little boy. It took me four years to get pregnant and I cherish everyday with him. I am currently hoping for baby #2. Please keep us in your prayers and tell everyone out there hoping and longing for a baby, that God does provide in His time.
I read your blog and love the way your have used your story to spread God's love. Your mom left a sweet comment on my post the other day. You can tell that she is a special woman as well. Keep doing what you're doing!
And I'm so glad God gave me a little boy because I'd be totally broke and in debt up to my eyeballs buying all those cute little girl clothes like Harper has!
Kelly,
I am thankful for you and your faith in God and how it has challenged me to draw closer to him. I am also thankful that you have shown me the kind of joy being a mommy can bring into your life! Can't wait for my turn!
Love and blessings! Rachel
I'm thankful that every morning I wake up to a pot full of coffee from my thoughtful husband. It reminds me of how much he loves me.
I'm so thankful for my 3 kiddos after many painful miscarriages and docs telling me that we had a 4% chance of ever having children. I'm also thankful for a wonderful husband who is always there for us (and mighty cute too!) :)
I've been a reader for a few months, and I love your posts. I don't have children of my own yet, so I live vicariously through your posts about Harper! Your faith inspires me to be a better person.
I also love your posts about football, food, and fashion!
I love reading your blog. You are such a blessing in my life. I am thankful for this day that the Lord has made! No matter what comes our way in the short 24hrs that is today...it is Gods plan. Hugs to you!
I have been reading your blog since probably about half way through your pregnancy. You are such an inspiration to me and I admire you. I am so thankful for my sweet, precious son who is 3 months old, my wonderful husband, and my oh so supportive family!
I so enjoy looking at your blog everyday!!! Today, I am thankful for a healthy family who I love deeply. We have all been under the weather for a bit. But today is a new week and we are on the mend. Thanks again, for you inspiration daily. :)
I'm so thankful for my mom. She's never been away from home for more than a few nights at a time, but right now she's in Romania! She went over for a 2 week mission trip. I've gotten an email and a few text messages from her, and she says she's having an amazing time. I can't wait for her to get home so I can hear about all fo the wonderful things she got to do.
I am thankful for my family! There is not greater joy than to know that when all else around you fails, they love you.
Thank you for your sweet encouraging blog!
Hi Kelly
I enjoy your blog almost daily:). Today I am thankful for many things, most importantly my Savior and His love. My husband and I are feeling so richly and undeservedly blessed with a little boy in the womb whom we have waited and prayed for...He does INDEED hear and delight to answer prayers.
Charissa
I am thankful for my sweet 9 month old daughter and her good health. Also for my amazing husband. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful family.

Congrats on 1000!!!
I am thankful for my beautiful family, FAITH and God's goodness!!
Couldn't make it through this world without HIM!!
Love from Fayetteville,

I visit daily and love your blog but more than that I love that you share your faith. We are sisters in Christ and I appreciate that you stand in the gap for so many!!! Harper is a DOLL!!! God Bless you and your family!
Hi Kelly! Love your blog!! I am thankful for me beautiful baby girl, wonderful husband, and amazing family and friends!
I am thankful for my family. They're amazing, and I'm so grateful to God for them. The Lord has really blessed you, and you are touching others through this blog. I pray that you will always continue to use it in such an uplifting and positive mannor for our Lord. Bless you!
Read your blog every day, but have never commented (I don't think). I am thankful for my wonderful husband and my precious 4-year old son! I am so thankful that we are healthy and happy! :-)
I am especially thankful for my husband today...and for what God's doing in him. I am thankful for and adore our 2 year old son and 1 year old daughter...and the baby girl in my belly. :)
I'm a lurker from Milwaukee, WI so I really enjoy all your southern charm! You are so encouraging and I've been known to cry after reading a post, in a good way. Just want to say that Harper is adorable. I love everything about your blog; I'm positive we'd be friends if we lived closer. Thanks for showing me a way to spread God's word; I've never been bold enough to do it in person but I can confidently do it through my blog.
I have been reading your blog since before you got pregnant with Harper. I'm also a PK, so I've always felt like we could be friends. :)
Something I'm thankful for today: my 2 healthy boys, one is 4 and one is 3 months. I always read the blogs you share for prayer requests and it breaks my heart to know of all the children suffering and the parents who worry sick over them.
Thank you so much for all that you do through this blog. You have no idea what it means to those of us who read it. (I'm enjoying going back to read what Harper was doing at each stage that my baby hits.)
I came across your blog when one of my best friends had a daughter, Harper. I was looking for monogrammed 'H' ideas and your blog came up! I am so thankful for how God can use anything, even the internet or your blog to witness and bring people into his kingdom. It is truly amazing. Happy 1000th post!
I am thankful for a God who loves me unconditionally and who has given me a wonderful Godly husband and two precious boys that steal my heart everyday. I am now praying for our third child which at this point doctors say won't happen easily. Your blog gives me so much encouragement and lifts me up on the days when I seem overwhelmed. Thanks!!!
I am thankful for my 2 happy and healthy boys and my loving and supportive husband. And lets not forget my new dishwasher and kitchen--didn't have a dishwasher for 4.5 years and only had 2 cabinets in that nasty kitchen!
I've been reading for a short time after being lead here by a friend. I absolutely love your stories and you have a very beautiful family. And, I am very thankful for my husband and son!
Kelly,
I am new to your blog and just love it! I am thankful for my happy and healthy family!
annie
wishing you a great week!
Hi Kelly! I have been reading your blog for about four months now and I love it because you are so real, uplifting and positive. I love the story about the dress; God really does know what's best for us and is always working behind the scenes on our behalf. He is so good!
Today, I am thankful for my friends and family.
I am Sue from GA and have been reading your blog since Harper was born. I think Angie Smith had asked her readers to pray. I am thankful that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I am grateful for having four healthy children (ages 19 -27) and a loving husband.
I think you are adorable and I think you are a awesome mom. Harper is so beautiful and I have loved watching her grow up. (Can you tell I am ready for a grandbaby?) :)
Thank you for sharing your faith and your family.
Be blessed!
I just love reading your blog! I am thankful for my husband (yesterday was our 1 year anniversary) and incredibly thankful to be 19 weeks pregnanT with our first child! I have wanted to be a mother my entire life and I am still amazed that it is actually happening!
thanks for sharing your days with us!
Really enjoy reading your blog. Harper is precious and a blessed little girl to have such wonderful parents. I a grateful today for God's promises of salvation, noone can take that away! Bless you.
I have been reading your blog since Harper was born. I linked through a friends site and began praying the day they took Harper to nicu. I am thankful for my life and my children. I had a daughter who passed away when she was 16 months old and after dealing with infertility (after her death) for 6 years I finally got pregnant with my daughter Aleeyah. They almost lost me on the operating table during my c-section with her and I am thankful the Lord seen it fit to let me stay and raise my child. After ealing with infertility I was sure that Aleeyah would be my only daughter, but much to my surprise 18 months later I was pregnant with another daughter. God is wonderful and to him I give praise daily. Even through the sleepless nights, colic, and flu....to him be the praise!!!!
I think I may have commented here once or twice but not a regular commenter. :) I am so very blessed and thankful for a Godly husband, (who also happens to be stunningly handsome and amazing), a healthy baby boy who will be 1 in less than 2 weeks (WAHH!!!)-- this is a baby who was given to me as a gift from God when I thought I would not be able to have babies- Praise HIM!! I am thankful for my Savior and the life He has given me!
Hi Kelly,
I am so very thankful for my 2 beautiful children, a 4 year old boy and a 3 year old girl. They keep us busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way, I love my life and I'm so thankful for that.

First, I love reading your blog. My baby girl is just a couple weeks older than Harper so it's fun to read about her :) .
The song "Count Your Blessings Name Them One by One..." has been playing through my head the past few days. God has been SO good to me even though I'm so undeserving. I'm so thankful for my babies, my husband, his job, our family and friends, even trials that make my eyes focus on Jesus. The list could go on forever.
Love,
Rebecca
Hello Kelly,
I'm a "lurker" :)
I find your blog to be very inspiring, but at the same time I get great fashion sense! :)
I have an 11 month old little girl & like you, she is my absolute love! God has shown me so many things through my sweet baby girl.
Anyways, I love your blog!

I am thankful for my wonderful husband and our sweet baby boy who is in heaven. I am thankful for God's presence in these hard days. He is faithful!
Hi Kelly! I have been reading your blog since Harper was born. I have posted a couple of times.
I am thankful not just today but everyday for my son. He is a great joy although he has many complications, including Cerebral Palsy. www.ourbabylayne.blogspot.com
Today I am thankful for my wonderful friends and family!!
I am thankful for my healthy 1 year old son and loving husband! We have been married 4 years and dated for 6 years before that!! I ALWAYS knew I wanted to be a mama and couldn't wait until the timing was right. I love being home with him and am excited to see what the 2nd year of his life brings. It's definitely easy to focus on the negative and sad stories in life, but we truly are blessed beyond my wildest dreams!!! Happy Monday!
Hi Kelly, I'm reading in Jacksonville, FL and I have enjoyed watching Harper grow. I even dreamed about Harper Sat. night that she started WALKING!!! Can you believe that! I guess I should have dreamed that she was crawling.... Anyway, thanks for sharing your story with us.
Hi Kelly,
I have enjoyed reading your blog - I like your 'mommy stories' and I also enjoy seeing all of the girly clothes and accessories you have for Harper. Thank you for sharing part of your life with us readers & thank you also for passing on the stories of people who are in need of prayer.
I am thankful for hitting the 30 week mark in my pregnancy.
Take care!
Checking in from Arlington, Texas! I am so thankful for my husband, after about 8 months of unstable marriage, we are back on track, and God is so faithful! Also, thankful for my sweet daughter that will be three in a few short weeks!
A long time lurker who just loves your blog and your heart for Jesus! Thanks for being so transparent with us all! Iam so thankful that God works openly and sometimes secretly behind the scenes for us! Stacey
Kelly,
I have been reading for almost a year now. I just happened on your blog one day and fell in love with you and your sweet little girl. I had just gone though a tough breakup with a boy who I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with. Little did I know that my prince charming was waiting patiently for me. I starting going to a new church in February and found him! We were engaged in May and will be getting married on Feb. 6, 2010!!! I have been so blessed! Your life stories have reached out to me. Sometimes the verse you put up is just what I need to hear! Your show us your life posts have gotten me really excited for my upcoming bridal showers and wedding! My sister-in-law to be had a difficult time conceiving and then delivered 2 months early. They have a happy and healthy 9 month old that I adore! Your down to earth writing style and the truth that you deliver is uplifting and encouraging! I have loved watching Harper grow (esp. the pictures of her on her month birthdays). I am from TN but went to college in AL. I am a die hard SEC fan myself!!! Congrats on your 1000th post! Harper will love to look back at these when she is older! Thanks for everything Kelly! Keep on writing!
Okay here I am. The lurker I read your blog daily, but never leave comments. After 955 today, you probably won't see this.
I am thankful today because after 7 & 1/2 years of praying God gave us a child and then 20 months later another. My little girl started kindergarten this year and my son started preschool.
Hug Harper extra tight because the time only goes by faster it seems.
Thanks for this blog and your testimony. Your a beacon of encouragement in a world that is filled with so much hurt and despair.
I'm thankful for the Lord answering prayer. And thankful for you, Kelly, sharing your life and how the Lord uses you and your site to touch so many lives.
I am very blessed and thankful for the healthy birth of my third child, my son Caleb. He was born 10 days ago. All three of my children are blessings from our Creator. I am amazed daily at the ways God chooses to bless us all, especially through our children.
I have been following your blog since before Harper was born. Ill never forget the morning you went into the hospital--or the weekend that followed. I prayed and prayed for yall all weekend and the weeks that followed. I LOVE you blog. You are so adorable and uplifting. Its wonderful to see a woman and family that shares the work God is doing in there life!!! Im so thankful for my friends and family and most of all Gods love and grace. What a mighty Lord we serve. Oh how he loves us!!! :)
I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant with a seemingly perfect healthy baby girl. At 11 weeks, she was diagnosed with a large cystic hygroma, and we were told I had about a 90% chance of miscarriage. She is due near Thanksgiving, and I really can not imagine being more thankful for any miracle ever!!!
Okay, I've never commented before (I don't think); however, since you asked I thought I would today. :) I feel like I know you and that we would be friends if we knew each other...ha. I love your blog and I've even cooked a few of your recipes. :) Thank you!
I am thankful for many things today. I'm thankful for my family and THREE beautiful daughters. We also had/have infertility issues, but I never even think of it b/c God has blessed us with 3 beautiful daughters from Guatemala. I know He is sovereign over all things and I'm glad He's given me hope and peace about it all...I didn't always feel like that.
Thank you for proclaiming His name and giving lots of encouragement! :)

Hi Kelly!
I read your blog everyday and I just absolutely adore your family (although I don't know you and we've never met! :) You just seem like such a sweet person, and well Harper, she is just too cute for words! :) Lots of praises coming from me today-my husband, son and I are expecting a little girl in January and we can't wait! :) My husband is celebrating a wonderful life after years and years of personal struggles, and we are just SO thankful for how God has blessed us.
Cheers to 1000 more! You are great! :)
I love the story about the dress! God IS amazing and I love how He shows us His love in the little things like cute tiny pink dresses!
Kelly - I have no idea how long I have been reading your blog. I think it was somewhere around the time Harper was in NICU. My heart ached and prayed for you and your sweet girl and I have been checking your blog daily since then. I love your humor, your love for Jesus, your love for your family, your love of college football and food!, your willingness to lay it all out there for "strangers" to read. Thank you for sharing your life! Everytime I read your blog I think, we would so be friends if we lived close.
OK - so back to what you asked for. Today I am thankful for my morning walks with my two girls. We walk my oldest daugher, Leah, to kindergarten. It's such a sweet and special time to talk about the day, pray together, etc. and then on the way back I have time with my precious 2 year old. A rare time to have just her. I love it!
Hi Kelly-
I've been reading since Harper was born...sent over here from Boomama the day you were going into labor. Today I am so thankful for my husband's good job. I know many are struggling with unemployment and I pray for several that are waiting on God for that new job. My husband went through that a few years ago and although it was tough, we saw the hand of God and His provisions in a whole new way. Bless you Kelly!
As commenter 976 and never commented before ... I'm thankful for the rain that North Dallas has had all weekend. It makes this Midwest girl feel like she's back in her home state and a little less homesick then she had been days before.
I have been a reader since you found out you were pregnant with sweet Harper. I am thankful for an amazing family who supports me in all my decisions. I am also thankful for the opportunity to get my college education. I am thankful for my amazing hometown church and out Pastor. I am thankful for all the men and women who give their lives for our freedom and for my amazing boyfriend who I will one day call my husband. I have so much to be thankful for =)
I have been reading your blog since Harper was born. I am one of your lurkers, but religiously check your blog every day!
God blessed my husband and I with an amazing son through the miracle of adoption almost 3 years ago and he will be turning 3 in 1 month! My husband and I struggled with infertility for 2 years prior to making the decision to adopt. I praise the Lord for opening our eyes and hearts to adoption...it has changed us and blessed us in more ways than we ever dreamed it could have. I praise God every day for leading us to adopt, even though when we were going through infertility, we never felt as though anything good could come from that difficult situation, it did!
Kelly-I've been reading your blog since about the time you had Harper. I think I've commented a couple of times. I am thankful for my wonderful 6-year old daughter from Guatemala. I had problems getting pregnant, then miscarried twice, then divorced. But I wanted to be a mom so bad that I decided to adopt, which ended up being a 4 year process, and trying 3 different countries. In the process I bought matching OSU t-shirts, but would not wear mine until I had a daughter to wear hers. I brought my daughter home 4 years ago and it was an emotional moment for me when we got to wear our matching t-shirts.

Kelly, what a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing it! I keep seeing in comments how much everyone appreciates your positive spirit... that is so true!
I could go on with a list of praises all day =) but I'll sum it up by saying I am most thankful for my Faith and my family... that says so much anyway, right?
I am thankful for all the simple blessings in my life--I am very, very blessed.
Thanks for writing your blog. I really appreciate your sweet spirit and grateful heart!
Congratulations on your 1000th post Kelly! I started reading your blog when you were about 20 weeks pregnant.
I am so very thankful for the little girl growing in my belly and my wonderful family!
I am thankful today that I was introduced to your blog and that has lead me to other blogs in which I get to see and hear about lots of good things.
I have no idea how I got to your site but I've been reading for a few months. Today I'm thankful for a new story (your dress story) to tell others of the faithfulness of Jesus. I'm also thankful for job opportunities for my husband.
I read your blog from afar and enjoy hearing about your miracle baby girl and your relationship with the Lord. Today I am thankful for my church home and their inspiring worship services. I am struggling with getting pregnant and ask for your prayers.
i love your blog :)
and i am so thankful for my husband. he vacuumed the whole house yesterday, and that was the best gift ever!
Visiting from San Antonio, TX. I am thankful for my husband, who is in the US Navy. He will be pinned to Chief Petty Officer on Wednesday! He deserves this greatly! Thanks Kelly, for 1000 posts of sunshine!
So thankful for my husband, son and daughter! Been reading your blog for a while but have only commented a couple times. Usually to say Go Gators! ;) I love your blog, and read your prayer blog as well. ;)
Hi! I'm an NWA girl and have been reading your blog ever since Harper was born and I heard about you through some of my friends who went to OBU and knew you. Also, your friend Meagan (spelling) that's in some of your pics...she looks so familiar. I'm almost 100% positive she and I were in the same "group" in our freshman business classes at U of A... :)
I love your blog. Maybe we'll run into each other sometime in real life and I can say Hi!
I am thankful for every single thing in my life. Everyday I strive to have a thankful heart. I'm thankful for My Lord, my sweet husband and my 3 beautiful children. :)
Have a great day and week!
wow that story gave me the chills. We serve a truly awesome God!!!
I am glad your dad is home and safe!!
I can be considered a lurker, never posted before, but definitely enjoy reading your blog. It is my "mommytime" thing to do! I am thankful for my husband who allows me to stay home with our two children and watch them grow and change everyday. I am thankful for my son Dante, born at 24 weeks, for all that he has gone through and after five months in the hospital, I am thankful that god has brought him to our life and helped us to appreciate life. I am thankful for my beautiful daughter, Bryanna, whom at six months is growing way too FAST!
Love your blog - linked over from Postcards from Insanity. :) I am so thankful I found your blog, as it's strengthened my faith even more!
Love your blog! I read everyday even if I don't have the time to comment, I'm still here reading! :)
I'm very thankful for my two wonderful little girls. My husband just left for a job out of town for a month or so, and the only thing that seems to pick my spirits up and keeps me going is those lovely little girls! :)
Congrats on the 1000th! That sure is a lot of bloggin'! ;)

I have been a long time lurker and have only commented a few times, but I am so very thankful that in one week from today, I am heading to Gulf Shores with my girlfriends from work! I am also thankful that everything with my husband's health is turning out okay!
I am thankful for my kids, who are good, although, they weren't necessarily good in church yesterday! Still, I'm thankful for them.
I am thankful for my good friend and our walk that we took today!
I READ!! YAY for Harper crawling!
Thanks for giving us an opportunity to say what we are thankful for. Right now, I am having a hard time remembering all the ways we are SO BLESSED....as we have A LOT going on. But with my Husband's pending deployment, I am so very thankful for my family and us being under one roof (for the moment).
And congrats on 1000 posts...that's amazing! Harper will appreciate every single one of those post one day! HUGS!
Just letting you know that I read every day. I found your post when another blog (can't remember which) that I read requested prayer for Harper. I love watching her grow. You have a beautiful little girl.
